We unpack how the MOVE+ Pro and Kineon's new gut–brain protocols are being used for thyroid health, chronic pain, C-section scars, migraines, fertility, and even long-term brain health.

Forrest shares specific protocols, how to avoid NSAID overuse, why dosing and depth of light matter, and early research on using lasers for menstrual pain, endometriosis, and infertility.
